At first, I just wanted to make money

Accompanying Gong Li on the red carpet, the two sides of the red carpet were crowded with students, shouting 'pen pen' in unison...

Gong Li couldn't help asking: "Who are they beeping?"

"Zhou Bichang!" Shen Xudong explained, "The runner-up of "Super Girl" last year..."

"So popular?"

"Of course, her glasses with the same frame are sold out..."

"…so smart?"

"Well...she participated in a movie, which sold more than 1000 million at the box office!"

Gong Li nodded: "Then Guoli's movie this time is going to be a big hit!"

More than 1000 million box office was a big number in 06!

Gong Li's "Beautiful Mom" ​​and "Zhou Yu's Train", the former box office was 800 million, and the latter was 1200 million...

Zhou Bichang's "Springfield Huahua Alumni Association" sold 1200 million in the mainland, and 900 million in Hong Kong...

The movie of Guo Li mentioned by Gong Li refers to "The 601st Call" directed by Zhang Guoli, and Zhou Bichang, Hu Ge, Zhang Baizhi and Guo Degang were found...

The producer's positioning from the very beginning is pen fan + steel wire...

Then it failed miserably at the box office!

This is something later.

"By the way, Brother Fa is here too, do you want to meet him?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I won't go..."

Gong Li was puzzled: "Is there any activity to participate in?"

"I'm going to see Sammo Hung..."

Gong Li thought of something, and he couldn't believe it: "...you don't like Zhou Runfa?"

"Yeah... I don't like him!"

"why?"

"If you don't like it, you don't like it. How can there be so many reasons?"

……

Shen Xudong doesn't like Zhou Runfa, there is no other reason, he is too pretentious, he considers himself an international movie star...

Typical self-respect!
Starting at $800 million?
According to international rules...

Why do you follow international rules?Do you have a gross international market?
Where does he have a market overseas?

Wang Jing publicly said, "In Hollywood, Zhou Runfa is not the card, but Li Lianlian is."If I want to make a blockbuster film and enter Hollywood, I will only use Li Lianlian, and I will definitely not use Chow Yun-fat. '

Of course, Zhou Runfa has a very high status in Hong Kong, because he debuted in a wireless training class, and he is a big brother!

If Hong Kong's film and television circles were a rivers and lakes, after killing the Great Wall, Cathay Pacific, and D&Mao, the leader of the martial arts is Shaw Brothers Shaw, and the other gangs are He Guanchang, Zou Wenhuai of Golden Harvest, Huang Baiming and Tsui Hark of New Wave, and Yuan Heping, who represents the interests of dragon and tiger martial artists. Over the years, these parties had conflicts and criticized each other...

Run Run Shaw thought of a way a long time ago, to train his own direct descendants, and opened a small teaching workshop...and trained a large number of actors.

The Best Actor of the Hong Kong Film Awards has been given to so many people, but not to Jackie Chan, and Huang Qiusheng, who gave the pork buns with human flesh, did not give it to Jackie Chan either!
However, the chairman of the Hong Kong Performing Arts Association has been established for 40 years, and there is no one from a wireless training class!

It was not until 2018 that Gu Tianle was given it!

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are interests, there are fighting...

However, Zhou Runfa has one good thing, he doesn't participate in these things - otherwise, based on his popularity, if he is a little ambitious, he may cause trouble.

……

Sammo Hung likes Shen Xudong very much. The main "Showroom" objectively evaluates Sammo Hung, the creator of comedy kung fu and magic kung fu.

Shen Xudong didn't take the script, but just told him the script idea of ​​"The Evil Man"...

The villain's script can be summed up in one sentence: use violence to control violence, the gang boss cooperates with the police to hunt down serial killers.

"Brother Sanmao, what do you think of this idea?"

"Very good...you are capable, I will do whatever you say..."

After Sammo Hung filmed "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", he admired the screenwriter...

Moreover, he is indeed a little old--he can't accept it.

I didn't introduce it completely. In fact, many marketing accounts promoted Sammo Hung's status, and they didn't write this paragraph-more than [-] films in a row lost money, and there was no film to shoot at one time.

In 89, Sammo Hung left Golden Harvest, founded Baoxiang, and then lost more than a dozen movies in a row—Situ Zhuohan said (Sammo Hung’s queen screenwriter) said that after leaving Golden Harvest, Sammo Hung directed, participated in, and starred in more than a dozen movies, There is only one "Fantasy Two Heroes" that makes money...'

"Chess and Powder" made money because of Alan Tam - to be precise, Alan Tam's ability to sell in Korea.

Previously, "Supreme Supreme" scored No.3 in the annual number of people in Seoul, South Korea. In addition to Andy Lau, Alan Tam also followed suit. The starring "Supreme Number One Scholar" also scored No.9 in the annual number of people in Seoul, South Korea. It can be seen that South Korea at that time The audience bought Alan Tam.

Sammo Hung's own productions, including "Ghost Staggering Feet", "Dragon Playing Phoenix", "The Man by the Pillow", and "No Face", etc., all lost money.

Movies that are the protagonist or producer, such as "Street of Fire", "Ghost Bite Ghost", "Oath to Never Forget Love", "Spirit Transformation", etc., cannot escape the fate of losing money.

That’s not to mention, from 92 to 93, Sammo Hung worked as a director or producer of films outside, such as "Legend of God of War", "Five Lucky Stars Clash with Ghosts", "Painted Skin Yin and Yang King", "One Sword Allure" and so on, all of which lost money , "One Knife Allure" made the boss Luo Wei tens of millions of debts, and he went bankrupt in his later years - and it was a loan shark!
If you can’t be a director, what about an actor?
In those few years, he starred in "Hong Fu Qi Tian", "On the verge of breaking out", "Ghost Invasion of the Underworld", etc., also couldn't escape the fate of losing money...

Let's put it this way, at that time, many colleagues in the film industry no longer called him "Big Brother" when they saw him, but directly called him "Sanmao".

Who gave him a hand?
Jackie Chan!
I asked him to direct "A Good Man"...

In the late 90s, almost no one approached Sammo Hung to make Hong Kong films, so he moved to Hollywood for a while. In fact, after filming "A Good Man", he filmed "Crossing the River" with a good response...

Unfortunately, he doesn't like it!
When I returned to Hong Kong, I couldn’t find a project, so I could only come to the mainland to develop. At one time, I could only make TV series, such as "Special Police Flying Dragon", "New Shushan Swordsman", "Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun", "Wing Chun"...

So, he is full of doubts about himself now...

Relying on the role of the villain broadened the play path...

But the ability to sell ports is still the same, slightly equal to zero.

So, Sammo Hung was very curious: "I have a question, don't you know what's going on with me now?"

Shen Xudong smiled: "Mr. Wrinkle Huai recommends you, and I also think that "One Sword Allure" and "A Jin" are crimes of non-war!"

Oh, "A Jin" is starring Sammo Hung and Michelle Yeoh. During filming, there was a scene where Michelle Yeoh was pushed off a bridge, but Michelle Yeoh was seriously injured because of this...

In addition, the Hong Kong box office of "A Jin" did not reach 100 million...

In fact, "One Sword and Allure" and "A Jin" are good movies. Needless to say, "One Sword Allure" has a bunch of golden sentences: "People who have always worried about the country have always been sad people through the ages." ',' As long as you are like-minded, even if it is full of wind and frost, there will always be a sunny day. '

"A Jin" is also good. It tells the struggle of a stuntman, that is, a martial artist. It is much better than the current "Dragon Horse Spirit"...

"Dragon Horse Spirit"... I am speechless, paying tribute to Hong Kong martial arts masters...

Relying on the defense, what a mess, and three lines are stuffed, one is the deep love between people and horses, the other is the reconciliation between father and daughter, and the third is to pay tribute to the spirit of the dragon and tiger warriors...

To be honest, there is only one suggestion for watching this movie: edit it and divide it into three movies so that you can cheat three shares of money, anyway, it will not affect each other if you are not together!
Shen Xudong went on to add: "I just have one request, the action design of "The Evil Man" should be more realistic, there is no need for fancy tricks, just fight to the death..."

Sammo Hung nodded: "What you want to do is a drama, not an action movie..."

"Yes, that's what it means."

"Where are the actors? Who are you looking for?"
